Room Uplighting Tips

1. All our lights should be used at private events with close supervision (all rentals and packages must be returned back to our warehouse)
2. You don’t want to misplace any boxes or shipping materials (keep items together in the same box and when not being used place your box in a location that others don’t have access to)
3. Get more height by using side brackets (make sure the screws are not too tight, it can cause thread stripping)
4. Ensure a clean look by having any power cords come out the back wrap nicely then run it towards the plug against a wall
5. Use an extension cord for power not located near lighting rentals (you can rent them here)
6. Lighting should aim up your wall, when positioning give it a slight tilt towards your wall
7. Avoid using lighting in areas your guests will be walking (so you don’t have to keep adjusting them during your event)
8. All rentals should be as close to the walls as possible (so it is out of the way when guest walk)
9. Remember spacing with laying down your lights you want them to have the same distance between each light
10. Any cords that cross a doorway need to be secured, use a small rug/carpet, if not available use tape (remove any tape from the wiring after your event)
11. Rooms with windows will let in natural light, this prevents any lighting from having an impact wait until the time your sunsets to see major lighting results

DIY Photo Booth Rental Tips

1. Your photo booth should get tested as soon as it arrives to your address
2. The photo booth can not be used in a space when the general public can use it without being monitored
3. All containers with the packing foam needs to be kept safe for returning back to us (if being stored keep it away from others so that you know where it is at all times)
4. Photo booth does not operate in wet or windy conditions, only use inside and on ground to prevent any damage
5. Any cabling running to or from your booth needs to be taped down so guest won’t trip or knock over your booth
6. When renting our printer, have a pair of scissors available for cutting printed photo booth strips in half (scissors not provided with rental)
7. Make your photo booth experience stand out by renting a red carpet this also doubles as a bonus for hiding any power cords
8. Prevent long photo booth lines by staffing someone to operate your booth, this reduces the chances of someone take more than 1 photo in a row so your guests do not have to wait longer
9. Always tell your guests about the photo booth (have your DJ or band make more than 1 announcement or give instructions)
10. To improve your photos you need the perfect balance of lighting, adjust your mounted light for the ideal condition
11. Get more guest engagement by having your booth need the dance area or drink station (if your booth is far away, you might get less photos)
12. When doing your floor layout reserve 1 table with a linen for your photo booth, this can be used with a printer (if rented), handheld props or to scrapbook your photos (not provided)

Wedding Monogram Lighting Tips

1. As with all our rentals only used in areas that you have control, this means rentals can not be setup in locations open to the public with heavy traffic (you will ship back all rentals and misc supplies)
2. Everything that was sent to you need to be sent back to us (keep an eye on your foam, containers, instructions & rentals, when not being used lockup in a room that other guests and vendors can not access)
3. If height is a concern then have a ladder available to improve your setup
4. You monogram light can be adjusted simply by moving the side brackets (this helps position your pattern)
5. Avoid lighting up dark surface or draping with pleats (the reason why is because it will take away from the effect)
6. Always adjust the zoom/focus so that your light is large enough to fit your desired area comfortably
7. If you are trying to setup in a location and it doesn’t look good try a 2nd setup area, the name size is determined by how far away you are from the wall (this is called throw distance, view our chart in the tabs above for the calculations)
8. The higher your light the more likely-hood your image won’t get blocked by guests walking in front of it, get your light tripod stand & connecting plunger adapter to do the job right
9. Try not to aim the light sideways onto a wall, you want a straight shot of the projected beam, this makes it more easy to read from anywhere in your room
10. Rooms with windows take away from the lighting brightness, find out when your sun will set
